What changed in this repo since Monday?
Open sourceAlpha · v0.1.0-alpha.20
The AI assistant that just works.
Let it solve your problems.
Agents of your own, on the AI plans and keys you already have. It sets itself up, fixes what breaks, and asks only when it has to.
- providers, all at once
- 25
- chat apps to reach it from
- 18
- apps it can use for you
- 38
- accounts to make, and no telemetry
- 0
Every provider
One picker. Every model you have.
Sign in with a plan or paste an API key. Every model joins one list, and a chat can switch without losing its thread.
- The plans you already pay for: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and Grok.
- On this computer: a model that’s private, free and works offline.
- Paste a key. Conch knows whose it is, or asks.
- At a usage limit, the next plan or key with room carries on.
Your agents
A name, a face, a voice of its own.
Make as many as you like, each with its own personality and instructions. When something fails, it works out why, tries another way and checks the result before saying it’s done.
- Pick one of Conch’s faces, upload a picture, or make one with AI.
- Pick who answers each chat, task and routine. In a chat app,
/agentswitches. - They share what Conch knows about you, so you never say it twice.
- Coming from OpenClaw or Hermes? Your agents come too.
In the chat
It knows what it can do. So ask.
Need an app or a skill that isn’t on yet? The card to turn it on is under the reply. Once it’s on, the chat carries on by itself.
- Your calendar, email, files and messages, shown as they are.
- Questions come with answers to tap, and its plan ticks itself off as it goes.
- What you might say next is one tap away.
- It never turns anything on by itself.
Make it yours
Ask for an app. It builds one.
Say what you need in your own words. Conch writes the app, tries every part of it and shows it to you as a card.
- It works with every model, and its page looks like Conch, light or dark.
- It runs sealed off: its own notes, and only the websites its card names.
- Nothing is added until you press Add to my apps.
- Share it on GitHub in one press, or add someone else’s from a link.
Safe hands
It asks when it matters. Only then.
It stops you for two things: an approval that matters, and what only a person can do. After a chat reads a web page or an email, anything that could send your things out or change your computer asks first, in every mode.
- On macOS and Linux, commands run sealed: they can’t read your keys or saved passwords.
- Every file it changes can be put back.
- Activity shows everything it did, in every chat.
The web
It uses the web. You watch.
Conch has its own browser, with nothing to install. Watch it live beside the chat, a small pearl where it’s about to click, and take the wheel any time.
- It asks before it acts on a new site.
- Passwords are yours to type. It never sees one.
- Your own browser, cookies and sign-ins are never touched.
In your pocket
Reach it from the apps you already use.
A bot or a chat of your own in Telegram, Discord, Slack and WhatsApp, and 14 more. Most connect outward, so nothing is opened to the internet.
- Telegram
- Discord
- Slack
- Signal
- iMessage
- Microsoft Teams
- Matrix
- SMS
- Mattermost
- LINE
- Rocket.Chat
- Google Chat
- Feishu / Lark
- DingTalk
- Nobody gets in unless you let them.
- Approve what it asks right there, with a button.
- On your phone’s Home Screen it’s an app, with notifications and voice.
It fixes itself
Something broke? It’s already fixed.
Conch watches every part of itself and mends what it can. When it needs you, like a fresh sign-in, you get one plain sentence and the button that does it.
- Nothing to install first: it fetches what it needs.
- One Repair everything button, for when you want to be sure.
- Daily backups and signed updates, on their own.
And the rest of a day’s work
Each of these is the app itself, playing.
It remembers, in the open
Memories are small Markdown files you can read, edit or delete. It learns quietly from your corrections, and asks only when something looks unsafe.
Everything can be put back
Every file an agent makes, changes or deletes, whichever provider did it. You see what will change first.
Show me
Ask for a chart, a page, a document or a table. It opens beside the chat, every version kept. Pages it writes run sealed off.
Hand it off
Send a job to the background and keep chatting. A waiting one says why, and the result comes back where you asked.
At a time, or when it happens
Routines run at a time you read in plain words, or when something happens, like an email from someone. Say “tell me if my flight changes” once, and it speaks up only when it does. Watching is free, and nothing runs until you turn it on.
It tells you what it fixed
What Conch mended while you were away, as a quiet list, not an alarm. Nothing for you to do.
Your own domain
On a server, one line installs Conch and asks a few questions. It gets its own certificate, and a link you open on your laptop makes it yours.
Sign in with a touch
Touch ID, Windows Hello or Face ID, named for the device you’re on. A new device waits for your OK, given from one you already use.
38 apps, for every model
Connect one from a gallery and it works with whichever provider answers. No JSON to edit, and its sign-in stays fresh.
Kept on your own computer
Chats, memories, skills and settings are plain files in ~/.conch. Conch keeps no copy anywhere else.
Good to know
It runs where you work
An app for macOS, Linux and Windows, or one line in a terminal, on your computer or a server.
It runs as you
Conch can read your files and run commands. Treat it like an SSH server, or run the work in a locked-down box, and read how it’s protected before you put it on a network.
Local models are smaller
Slower and less capable than the big cloud models: best for everyday questions, drafts and quick jobs.
I built Conch for myself. I wanted an assistant that fixes my problems, not one I have to keep fixing.
It’s open source now, so it can be yours too.
In the old story, whoever holds the conch gets to speak.
